Quack Off Points to Ponder

Media Hide Facts, Call Everyone Else a Liar

by Ann Coulter

July 04, 2015

Washington, DC -- When Donald Trump said something not exuberantly enthusiastic about Mexican immigrants, the media’s response was to boycott him. One thing they didn’t do was produce any facts showing he was wrong.

Trump said: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

The first thing a news fact-checker would have noticed is: THE GOVERNMENT WON’T TELL US HOW MANY IMMIGRANTS ARE COMMITTING CRIMES IN AMERICA.

Wouldn’t that make any person of average intelligence suspicious? Not our media. They’re in on the cover-up.

A curious media might also wonder why any immigrants are committing crimes in America. A nation’s immigration policy, like any other government policy, ought to be used to help the people already here — including the immigrants, incidentally.

It’s bad enough that immigrants, both legal and illegal, are accessing government benefits at far above the native rate, but why would any country be taking... More...

Knowing What We Know Now, Would You Say that Jeb Bush is Retarded?

We went to war at such breakneck speed after 9/11, that, before the invasion, I was able to write approximately 30 columns about it, give five dozen speeches on it, discuss it on TV a hundred times and read 1,089 New York Times editorials denouncing the "rush to war."

So I remember the arguments.

Contrary to the fairy tale the left has told itself since Obama truculently gave away America's victory in Iraq, our argument wasn't that we had to invade Iraq because of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. And the left's argument certainly was not: "He doesn't have any WMDs!"

Our argument was: There were lots of reasons to get rid of Saddam Hussein, and none to keep him.

Indeed, after Bush's State of the Union address laying out the case for war with Iraq, The New York Times complained that he had given too many reasons: "Even the rationale for war seems to change from day to day. Mr. Bush ticked off a litany of accusations against Iraq in his State of the Union address ..." (New York Times, Feb. 2, 2003)

Among the reasons we invaded Iraq were:

(1) Saddam had given shelter to terrorists who killed Americans. After 9/11, it was time for him to pay the price:

-- The mastermind of the Achille Lauro hijacking, Abu Abbas, who murdered a wheelchair-bound American citizen, Leon Klinghoffer, then forced the passengers to throw his body overboard, was living happily in Iraq. (Captured by U.S. forces in Baghdad less than a month after our invasion.)

-- The terrorist who orchestrated the murder of American diplomat Laurence Foley in October 2002, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, also took refuge in Saddam's Iraq. (Killed by U.S. forces in Iraq on June 7, 2006.)

-- The one terrorist behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing who got away, Abdul Rahman Yasin, fled to Iraq, where he was given money and lived without fear of being extradited to the United States. (Whereabouts unknown. Possibly being groomed for a prime-time show on MSNBC.)

According to Hersh's American and Pakistani intelligence sources, Osama bin Laden had already been captured by Pakistan and was being held prisoner in the Abbottabad compound since 2006. Whether the Americans knew about this in 2006 when Bush was president, Hersh didn't say,... yet.

If President Obama found out after he came into office in 2009, it appears that the Obama Administration saved this knowledge so that it could make use of it in a future take down of bin Laden for political marketing reasons. Like running for a second US Presidential term. Also, there was no Navy Seal fire fight. Instead, Pakistani intelligence insiders allegedly rigged it so that US choppers could fly across Pakistan borders without setting off alarms, landed at the Abbottabad compound, Navy Seals hopped out, ran upstairs and one US trooper simply shot bin Laden dead.

Then, according to Hersh's sources, the US Seals loaded bin Laden into a body bag and dumped him out of a plane or chopper over some rugged mountainous terrain while claiming that they carried his body to a US aircraft carrier and gave bin Laden a "proper Islamic" burial at sea.

But here's the thing. If all of this -- and more -- is true, then that would mean that President Obama and various high level administrative officials were holding Osama bin Laden as marketing fodder (for many years) so President Obama could make an announcement of bin Laden's capture so Americans would cheer and vote for him for a second presidential term: Hey, looky, looky, stupid American public. I (President Obama) found bin Laden all of a sudden and have ordered a top secret raid to take out this evil terrorist to save America, yahoo, etc.!

Bergdahl to be Charged with Desertion

Jan 27 2015

Seven months after the military began an investigation into the disappearance of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and his capture by the Taliban, which held him for five years, a new report indicates Army officials have determined Bergdahl — for whom the administration traded five top Gitmo-held terrorists — will be charged as a deserter.

Retired Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research, made the startling claim during an appearance on “The O’Reilly Factor” on Fox News.

Bergdahl’s attorney has received the charges, according to Shaffer, who claims the Obama administration is withholding the report.

O’Reilly said the White House has had this information for a while but has been delaying it under the auspices of Ben Rhodes, assistant national security adviser.

“This is shaping up to be a Titanic struggle behind the scenes,” Shaffer said. “Believe me, the Army here wants to do the right thing. Factually, there’s no way they can not do the right thing regarding Bergdahl. And the White President Obama cozying up to the parents and because he, President Obama, releasing the five Taliban. … The narrative is what the White House does not want to have come out.”

Bergdahl was recovered in Afghanistan by U.S. troops in a controversial swap for five Taliban officials on May 31. He had disappeared from his small patrol base on June 30, 2009, under a cloud of suspicion and fear as it became clear he been captured by militants.

The Army in June launched a new investigation into Bergdahl’s disappearance and capture, amid a raft of accusations from his fellow soldiers that he walked away from his unit on the battlefield and questions about whether the Obama administration handled the prisoner swap legally.

On Jan. 11, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, said he anticipated a decision “fairly soon” on whether the Army would court martial Bergdahl for deserting his post.

“In White House terms, not charging Bergdahl means that he was indeed worth the trade for the Taliban Five. But charging him on any level means that releasing the five Taliban was an error of monstrous proportions, one the administration will... More...

Generals Conclude Obama Backed Al-Qaida

Jerome R. Corsi at WND

“In early 2011, before Gadhafi was deposed, Christopher Stevens came to Benghazi in a cargo ship, and his title at the time was envoy to the Libyan rebels,’ which basically means Christopher Stevens was America’s very first envoy to al-Qaida,” explained Clare Lopez, a member of the commission who served as a career operations officer with the CIA and currently is vice president for research at the Washington-based Center for Security Policy.

Kevin Shipp, a former CIA counterintelligence expert who worked on the seventh floor at Langley as protective staff to then-CIA Director William Casey, again speaking for himself in his interview with WND, agreed with Lopez that the gun-running operation Stevens managed is a secret the Obama White House and Clinton State Department have sought to suppress from the public.

“The shocking part, maybe even a violation of international law that the Obama administration has been terrified to have fully revealed, is that Stevens as part of his duties as a State Department employee was assisting in the shipment of arms first into Libya for the al-Qaida-affiliated militia, with the weapons shipped subsequently out of Libya into Syria for use by the al-Qaida-affiliated rebels fighting Assad,” Shipp told WND.

“Very possibly, these gun-running activities could be looked at even as treasonable offenses,” he said.

US Stupidly Sends Klingons a Road Map Back to Planet Earth

July 17, 2015

Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, CA — The New Horizons spacecraft just finished its mission two days ago: a flyby past the planet Pluto, taking photos and sending them back to scientists on planet Earth. After ten years of speeding through space at the breakneck speed of 32,000 miles per hour — a highly relative term that rhymes with sloooooowwwwer than Molasses at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean when you get into space travel — the New Horizons spacecraft will now continue traveling outside our solar system to the infinite (or finite, who knows?) depths of space. And therein lies the problem. Namely, what type of ET humans or ET non-humans will encounter the New Horizons spacecraft and what message does it give to them?

Unlike the two Pioneer and two Voyager spacecraft that flew by Saturn and Jupiter, the New Horizons spacecraft does not carry a gold anodized plaque that has drawings of nude humans and lots of symbols representing life and culture on planet Earth. It carries only a couple of trivia pursuit type items. The Pioneer spacecraft contains a gold plaque and symbols while the Voyager spacecraft contains golden records full of sounds, greetings, and pictures representing Earth humans.

Here’s the problem: We — mainly USA scientists — back in the 1970’s, and it continues to date, are operating from a point of view that all other life forms that live in our universe are friendly. What if that premise is wrong?

It is logical to assume that in the same way that Earth humans evolved on planet Earth, the Big Bang produced similar galaxies, solar systems, and planets on which other life forms — both ET humans and ET non-humans — probably evolved, too. After all, there are only about a hundred different elements in the universe from which to construct all organic and inorganic matter and it appears that the trillions of galaxies and other universally evolving matter followed the basic laws of physics and chemistry, forming all the matter that we call our universe. And in the same way that Earth humans are not even friendly to each other on our own little planet, why should we draw the conclusion that other life forms in the universe are all holding hands and singing cumbaya? If I had to bet, I would bet that there exist a good number of life forms — both ET human and ET non-human — running around in the universe (at faster than 32,000 MPH, by the way) who would not think twice about zipping over to planet Earth, eradicating all humans, and then relocating themselves on Earth because, for example, their sun is dying.

Think this is a fantasy? Think again.

The Swiss contactee, Billy Meier, who is busy providing information today through contact notes with an ET human race called the Plejaren who are partly our predecessors and who live in a parallel universe vibrating at a fraction of a second from our universe, has stated that the Plejaren belong to a Galactic High Council of many other ET humans who have already on multiple occasions stopped other ET humans and ET non-humans from choosing planet Earth to wipe out all inhabitants and replace us with their population (the bad ETs, not the good Plejaren ET humans. It gets complicated.).

Let’s assume this is true, that the Plejaren are real, and they have done what Mr. Meier and they have claimed in their contact notes, i.e., saved our butts in the past from other ETs who wanted to conquer Earth… just for argument’s sake. If this is true, then how stupid is it for us to crank up a program at JPL for NASA to send information about Earth to the New Horizons spacecraft as it now travels past our solar system? Will the Plejaren always be there to save our butts? And, let’s take another approach and assume there are no Plejaren. Then, is it still intelligent for us to send information about Earth to the New Horizons spacecraft and take the chance that there exist Klingons and that the Klingons will intercept our spacecraft, lick their chops, and say to themselves, “Hoo boy, what a bunch of suckers these Earth humans are. Now we know exactly where to go to find a nice little planet like Earth to take over. Thanks for the road map, dumb dumbs.” And in the scenario with no Plejaren to protect Earth humans, what easy pickings.

The New Horizon spacecraft already is carrying a number of objects, including an American flag, the state monetary quarters of Maryland and Florida (yeah, cupro-nickel, not silver, but that’s another issue), the ashes of Pluto discoverer Clyde Tombaugh and a CD with more than 400,000 names (you idiots, did you give them your street address and phone number, too, maybe your car’s license plate number, like all that is going to matter?) including former TV host Bill Nye “The Science Guy” and Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX.

So now, Jon Lomberg, a science artist and the designer of the golden records that went out on the Voyagers, wants to add to that with a project that NASA would send to the computers on the New Horizons spacecraft. “This is the first generation that has been able to send objects outside of the solar system,” said Lomberg. “That’s as big a step as the first animal crawling out of the water onto land,” he added. Lomberg worked with astronomer Carl Sagan and a small team on the golden records and had only six weeks to produce a portrait of mankind.

While some think that the chances that Lomberg’s portrait of Earth humans will never be seen by ET aliens, what if they are wrong? What if the USA has been stupidly sending road map information to the Klingons via our past spacecraft, Pioneers I and II and Voyagers I and II, and are now going for broke by starting up another project for NASA to send even more road map information about planet Earth to the Klingons via the New Horizons spacecraft that just flew past Pluto? I mean, Plejaren or no Plejaren, how Mickey Mouse is it to send to the Klingons a road map back to planet Earth? — FM Duck
